You are 100% correct. It is sickening to see what is done in the name of profits. We must tell as many people as we can. Unfortunately, there are those who will not believe us and are harmed anyway but maybe we can save a few.
BTW, don't be surprised when you read a response from someone in the drug industry who says, "just take it with water", or "they are really wonder drugs". When I see those postings it really makes me sick.
I hope you recover soon.
I am not from a drug company and I've taken Cipro 500mg on two different occasions for a serious UTI. The only side effect I ever had was healing. The last time I had a UTI I was bleeding and burning. Within 4 hours that stopped, and within two days I had no symptoms whatsoever.
